The final ap lications for the for- eign study scholanship were given out yesterday by selection committee chairman Miss Lois Grigsby, AAUW member and Professor of English. Mrs. Austin Perry is chairman of the scholarship fund. This is the first such scholarship award given by the AAUW organ- ization. Jt is only a portion of the entire fund which has been accumu- lating over the years through various activities such as rummage sales, faculty plays, games and _ tourna- ments. Various groups and individuals have contributed toward the building of the fund. The purcose of the fund is to pro- vide opportunities for East Carolina students to obtain direct acquaint- ance with the people and culture of another country while studying there in their field of special interest, ac- cording to Mrs. Perry. “Tt is hoped that the students wil] open their thinking to include ‘the benefits that could be derived from foreign study,” added Mrs. Perry. OEE PAGE TWO World Affairs Review By JONNIE SIMPSON Another annual presentation sponsored by the college began its periodical revolution when World Affairs Institute commenced and terminated March 7, 1957. Exactly, what did World Affairs Institute mean, if anything? Was it just another required function students sometimes attend and heedlessly ignore? Senator A. S. (Mike) Monroney of Okla- homa and Representative Patrick J. Hillings of California, featured speakers, gave East Carolina College students the opportunity of intimate contacts with outstanding government leaders. These men voiced their opinions from congressional committee to the explosive personal activity, areas of our world. eontacts, and recent. visits Both were optimistic toward the future prospects of tor the United States. In the morning ses Se sion there was no show of partisan polities. Later these men ceased to be just a Sena- tor and a repre-® sentative. Their: comments coated |; with the stinging sweetness of po-:; litical suavenes illustrated the b partisan view of every issue. It was extremely diffict to dis- tinguish between private opinion and the public an- nouncements of a politician. peace Hillings concrete ex- amples of the American representative system of government. Only in a democracy of govern- e and for the people could ies with opposing ideas However, these two men are ment from the peo} conflicting personal work in harmonious union. Hillings, young, vibrant, vigorous, change, while Senator Mike Monroney, stabilizing and firm, balanced the other end of the fulerum of dis- cussion. It is quite possible in politics as in science to disturb the equilibrium of a weight. This reality added a lighter, even amusing side when bipartisan questions arose. Representative portrayed dynamic Perhaps, the most significant statements aside from partisan issues involved the estab- lishing, or actuality of peace. Senator Monroney said that the mid . east S economic aid. He did not think we could expect to succeed unless we “move away from hand- outs.” He sugges- ted as a solution the creation of an Intern ata ional Bank. The Senator asized thal a stronger U. N police force “is¢ the best way to prevent armed conflict.” He stressed that, “It is a thousand times easier to prevent a war than to stop one and a police- man on the beat is pretty good insurance.” Monroney Representative Hillings’ striking note was the impor-ance of education in accepting per- f “the world’s best system of individual freedom, economic freedom and government.” sonal responsibility For some this event stimulated and arous- ed past, present, and future inerest in world affairs. It was like an intoxicating beverage, for it awakened dormant interest in internat- ional problems.

Strange And Odd American Custom Dr. Weston LaBarre, associate pro- fessor of Anthropology, Duke Uni- versity and author of “The Human Animal” has given us an African professor’s view of what some con- sider the curse of present-day life: the cocktail party. As published in the New York Times here are parts of Dr. LaBarre’s entertaining and per- ceptive account. “Of course,” mused Professor Wid- jojo, the eminent anthropologist of the University of Nyabonga, “the natives of the U. S. A. have many strange and outlandish customs; but ! must say the drinking rituals of the Usans impressed me most. These rituals occur yearly during an ex- tended period in the calendrical round, beginning at the time of the harvest of Thanks-for-Blessings and ending largely at the drinking bouts of the New Year. This is called The Season, after which those who can afford it usually leave their homes entirely and flee southward into retirement for recuperation.” “Rather like our Nyabongan pu- ordeals?” asked a brilliantly dark matron dressed in a handsome ron of tiki feathers and little else. “Well, no, not exactly,” said Pro- fessor Widjojo, fingering his nose- stick politely before replying. “Per- haps I could describe it best by telling you of the Usan koktel parti, as they call it. You know, of course, that the Usan women, despite their rigid tri- bal clothing taboos, in general take of’ more clothes at their gatherings, depending upon the time of day. The neckline drops more and more, both in front and in back, as the parti is held later and later in the evening. “On the other hand, men put on more and more clothes as the form- ality of the occasion increases, Fur- thermore, the women keep their hats on at koktel partis, thug clearly est- F ing the ritual significance of e koktel partis. Social status is indicated by the number of partis a is invited to attend—and of course wealth, since a woman can’t wear the same hat and dress to more than one parti. People complain bit- terly at the number they have to go to, but it is mevertheless plain that they are proud of their ability to sus- tain many ordeals, and this is a form of polite boasting, Not that these other rituals are any different, or that they provide escape from the ordeal,” continued Professor Widjojo, “for at all of them the natives receive drink called aignawg. Everybody hates it, and freely says so in private, but they must drink some of it so as not to offend their hostess. Despite the superficial phonetic resemblance, aig- nawg has no connection whatever with eggs. It is really skimmed milk, made commercially and thickened with seaweed jelly.” “But I am getting ahead of my c:ronology, Really, the drinking sea- -on of the Usans begins in the fall of the year, after a wholesome summer vacation, at the time of the futbol games. The purpose of the Usans college is to collect young men by competitive subsidies to engage in these mock battles, during which they rush ferociously at one another wearing padded armor and virtually kill one another.” “Are there totems governing mar- riage in the koktel gatherings?” asked a young girl just past her pu- berty ceremonial, “No, I would think not,” replied the professor thoughtfully. “On the contrary the koktel parti more re- sembles a primitive orgy, with no reference to marriage bonds what- ever, You see, as a point of etiquette husbands and wives do not remain near one another at koktel partis, but circulate around making conquest. After a few drinks, the males display their “lines,” which are ritualized ways of approaching the brightly painted females—a strange custom incidentally, since it is the males nat- urally who ought to be painted as among us Nyabongans. The sexual nature of these ceremonies is shown ia the magic plants called mislto which they hang up at these winter rituals in particular. These are para- sitie plants with white berries that grow on oak trees—both of which have symbolica] significance—but they are by no means necessary 13 a sanction for kissing, especially at a New Year's koktel parti in full swing.” “Where does the word koktel come 4 interested jungle ma berty couple from?” an asked. “Well literally, the word means the hind feathers of a male chicken or cock,” replied the professor. “But Usans readily admit upon questioning that no one seems to know why they are called this. They claim that kok- tels began only as late as the Nine- EAST Jerry Mills Mr. Roberts .... An Impressive Production performance of Mister indeed wel] spent.
